Case Summary

The EEOC's Seattle district office sued Regis Corporation, a national hair salon chain, and Hair Masters Services, Inc. on September 18, 2000 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. The EEOC's complaint is unavailable, however the consent decree, entered on July 16, 2001, specifies the EEOC's causes of action. Accordingly, the EEOC alleged that the defendants violated Title VII when they discriminated against the intervenor employee, who intervened on January 3, 2001; by failing to accommodate her religious practices (unspecified) which lead to her constructive discharge. The consent decree stipulated that the defendant would pay the intervenor $55,000 in damages, provide training for religious sensitivity, amend its EEO policy to accommodate religious practices and post a notice of compliance with Title VII.
